Official Artistic Gifts 2

For the original Official Artistic Gifts, look here.

Hey guys and welcome to Artistic Gifts 2, also known as Secret Doodle Santa.
The way this work is similar to the way Secret Santa works.
You get one person you have to draw and nobody else knows who you have or who has you. Sounds simple right?


The committee: CY_Law, NickCole, Kaido, Vadiant, Souji and Starswifter
These 6 people are the ones to contact if you have a problem or have any questions.

Round: 15
Signup closes: 12th of December at 12 PM GMT [Countdown]
Start: 18st of December at 12 PM GMT [Countdown]

FAQ:
Q) I don't know how to draw can I join?
A) You still *can* join, but take this into account, the primary objective is that, you draw something for someone else, you have to make sure you came up with something in the end, we would try to tolerate with late submission or none at all, considering you have a valid reason. You wouldn't want to disappoint others do you? xD

Q) I don't know who the person I'm meant to be drawing looks like, what should I do?
A) You should PM (preferably) the Master Randomizer or another one of the Committee. They will contact the person for you and get the information you need.

Q) What should I draw?
A) Generally you draw the person's fursona or Persona. If you are unsure contact the Master Randomizer or someone on the committee to ask what your target wishes you to draw.

Q) Is there any special place we should upload?
A) No, but Tinypic or Imageshack is suggested because people can't sneak a look then. After the initial showings you may upload the drawings to anywhere you wish.

Q) Where should I post the result?
A) PM the result to the Master Randomizer. They will post your drawing with the rest at the right time. This solves time

Q) What if I do not post on time? Are there a consequences?
A) If you are missing submitting a drawing for any previous rounds you will be unable to sign up for any future rounds. There are no other consequences for being late with a submission.

Q) Who will draw the numbers?
A) Starswifter, he's the Master Randomizer

Q) How will I find out who to draw?
A) You will be PM'd by the master organizer who will asked you for a number and give you a name in return.

Q) How will we know when the event starts?
A) A PM will be sent to all participants on the start date after they have signed up, the starting date will also be listed on the OP.

Q) What's the point on doing this?
A) For pure fun, you join, you draw, and you are guaranteed to get a drawing in return, take it as an art trade, even if you're not joining, you can still view what others have drawn.

Q) I did a full picture! Fully detailed, outlined, colored shaded, background and all I got was a bad stick figure. How is that fair?
A) You need to remember that some people may not have your ability and no matter what the outcome looks like, somebody put their heart and soul into a drawing just for you. That's something special of it's own right isn't it?

Q: Do I have to wait until the end time to hand-in?
A: No, you can hand-in your drawing as soon as it is done.

Q: Which timezone are the times in?
A: Unless otherwise stated, the timezone is GMT (or GMT+1 is Daylight Saving Time is enabled) which should make it easy for everyone to calculate the time in their own timezone. You can use this site to help with the calculation.

If you have a question you don't see here, please contact someone of the committee.

Same here... *goes to fill it out*

*hops in*
I'm in! :3

Ready let's so it

"It can only get better from here!... right?"

Eeh, suuure ... right ... *hides*
Anyway, 16 signups so far and a couple of them are new, sweet

Aw man I really wanna sign up for this, but until I get internet back, it's not a good idea. HOPEFULLY I'll get it back soon, and then I'll sign up. (still posting from the library)

I'm in.

So many people.. o uo

This is gonna be fun.

I am glad to see that people haven't been scared away by the last round ...
And Psykeout, you are welcome to join again when you get your internet back. Hopefully your internet is going to stay for the whole event then xP

How would Psyke know that you wrote that to him if he has no internet?

I bothered to hike down to the library again so yes, I got it. :v

... Shush! :V Fixed ...

Eh, for some reason there were wrong dates for the next SDS ... moved it back a couple of days ... sorry about that.
Anyway, notice for everyone that might be interested, there is one week left of the signup.

It should be noted that depending on when I leave to go home, I may or may not be a bit late with my drawing. My last class is on the 21st, so I may be leaving then and not getting back to where I have access to a printer until the 27th, so my drawing would be a day late.

I may get the drawing done on the 20th though, which means I could scan it in before I leave and get it in on time. but just thought I should let you all know.

Uhm ... it is Monday, the signup closes at Wednesday ... xP

Guys, don't forget! The deadline is 12:00 PM GMT. It won't be too big of an issue if you don't meet it, but that's when the revelation is scheduled to occur. Also, when you PM me your drawing, please include the username of your recipient. Thank you to all who participated!

And now the moment you've all waited so patiently for, the revelation of the Secret Santa Doodles. Before I show all of your great artwork, I would like to take a moment to thank all who participated, even the 8 of you who didn't meet deadline ;P These events are always a thrill and would not be possible without the tremendous outpouring of participation you all have provided. And now, without further adieu, I present in no particular order, the doodles.

I love it Diss

Sorry I couldn't quiet meet the deadline, but I'll have it in soon

EDIT: May I use it for a profile picture Diss? :3

Really nice everyone, great job.
And thanks a lot to Laxan for taking over Tha Housefox' responsibility when he had to drop out (get well soon), and Mr. Noms for stepping in and handling the handin process now that I am really busy (I shouldn't even write this post, really!). Thanks a lot!

Dates for the next SDS will be discussed in the committee later today or tomorrow.

awesome, guys!

Fantastically done. Really like Laxan's a ridiculous amount, but it's all very good. CaptainPea always rather silly. :>

Thanks Daggy. ^_^'

And wow everyone, they all look awesome! Every single one of you should be proud. =)

FFFF-

Ack. Sorry, I've been insanely busy this week. I'll have mine in by... some time tonight.

problem?

XD

So Housefox Is gonna keep that humongous turkey all to himself? XD

My sincerest apologies, I have had too little drawing time this week, I promise I will finish the drawing for the secret person at some point, maybe this week. I'm really embarrassed, sorry!!!

Try not to be late guys
It's not a big deal, but still.

This is pretty much fantastic
Especially the cup of spice and the little skull.

Lol thanks, believe it or not, I actually dug up the game and replay it to end(space stage atleast) just to make sure I got the stat at the believable level, don't worry I enjoyed it.

And I just can't find the icons with a reasonable resolution just so I could crop it out, so yeaaaah, I made them from scratch myself, and those little references like the yellow spice as well, I heard they're used in beverage so yea :> *shot*

HOOBOY HOLD ON

Rgh, i thought i mailed it in on time XP So here is my submission going to LeafofLawl/Foxleaf



I know you don't like smiles on ur character, sorry XP it looked awkward with a serious face

It's drawn, I promise. I've just got to wait until I get back up to norman to scan it.

...

I feel sad because in both of the ones I've been part of so far, the drawing of me has been late. T.T

oh well. I look forward to it, whoever got me.

I agree with Diss' call for a punishment system. Although I understand that certain events may delay work that you had every intention of doing, and believe me, I understand that entirely, it simply is not fair to sign up for an event and deny someone their request while they fulfill their end of the deal. That being said, there need be no hard feelings at all. These events ARE for fun, after all
